Redrum (Era Istrefi song)

"Redrum" (palindrome for "Murder") is a song by Kosovo-Albanian singer and songwriter Era Istrefi featuring Australian producer Felix Snow.

A femme fatale-influenced music video was uploaded to Ultra's YouTube channel simultaneously with the single's release, portraying Istrefi within a murderous aesthetic.

[5] Written from the perspective of a woman who is not impressed by materialism, the lyrics find Istrefi telling her love interest that she needs him to remain true to himself and even though she knows the relationship is deficient, she is willing to see it through.

Truman Ports of V acknowledged the song's lyrics to preserve "something mysterious and threatening" and lauded Istrefi's "sensual" and "commanding" vocals as well as her expressions during her visual performance.

[4] According to Beautiful Buzzz's Mike Doose, the song possesses "the sex appeal of Dua Lipa and Rihanna" along with the "mystique and allure of AlunaGeorge and Kiiara", also noting its potential to be a "global hit across continents and cultures".

[7] BigFM's staff commended Istrefi's fashion within a "killer aesthetic" and described the song to be a "bit calmer and with less Balkan flair" than her breakthrough single, "BonBon".
